What fortune shnli VIC trnce-

While May, the charmer, weaves
Through all the dim.lit night,
And half.seen bloom deceives-

And clearer on our ways
Hath bent her lamplng rays,
What fate shall we behold,
As face to face We gaze
When this new moon Is oldY
Now crescent is her light,
And still the violet blows,
Tho orchards hold their SHOWS;
Sealed are the lilies white,
Undreamed Of Il the rose
Now crescent Is her light
When this new moon Is old,

What In the bud lies sealed,
The rose shall then unfold,
